Conner Prairie was a great experience my date and I enjoyed lots of friendly people great family fun atmosphere would highly recommend and will return when I get a chance.

This is a really neat place. The facilities are always clean. Its well-maintained and there are many things to do. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have worked to continually update and add to the attractions.Admittance isnt cheap and the helium balloon ride costs extra. The helium ride is a unique experience. It is worth the cost if youre able to spend a whole day here.

Had a great day out at Conner prairie. The balloon ride was fun and the views from above the prairie spectacular. The fall foliage was beautiful and the weather just perfect for wandering around the exhibits.

I’m a little disappointed that tix were full price but everything wasn’t open. Also perturbed at the couple of employees that were quite rude about the mask wearing (this was outside in open air, where we were no less than 8 feet apart), and one who was pretty rude about one of my kids even looking in the direction of an area that was closed while we were all waiting to recongregate outside of bathrooms. Then they changed their sing-songy, fake tunes immediately to suggest I get a membership and come back, but honestly I don’t see the point. The buildings that were open had super friendly staff and helpful. You can’t say that you “encourage” guests to wear masks where distancing isn’t possible online, then change it to a mandatory requirement on site and try to implement it outside where it doesn’t apply anyway. I understand that covid has placed undue stress on places like this, but the differences between what is stated ahead of time and what I found in person is really irritating.

I was wowed that the presentations were something like out of Disney World. In order for it to be so realistic feeling, the presentations combine physical props with digital ones that is high quality. You really feel like you’ve traveled back in time. My husband and I had a Great time. He went a lot as a kid, so he was showing me around while also being pleasantly surprised by new additions since he had last been years ago.

Connor Prairie has really done an outstanding job during these uncertain times. We’ve always attended their Headless Horseman Event the last 4 years and this year we wondered if it would be worth it. We attended over the weekend and we were so pleasantly surprised at how creative they were with the different attractions they offered! They eliminated the corn box, and bouncy houses and instead provided attractions that allowed social distancing while still being super fun- games, shows, corn mazes, tube slides, , train rides, great food, and even beers for mom and dad! They sanitized the wagons after every ride, wiped down games, sanitized chairs- and every volunteer and staff member did with a smile. We had an amazing time as a family and we’re beyond impressed with our experience! Way to go Conner Prairie- thanks for keeping our family traditions alive- we are so proud to be members!

Such a disappointment. We drove an hour only to find it closed when the website said it would be open. Judging by the dozens of other families walking up to the door and turning around we werent the only disappointed family.

Fun for all ages. Great local history lesson!

A good place to spend a half day with your family especially if you have a toddler. Give a perspective about Indianas history and how the journey from the past until today.

Boney James concert at Conner Prairie. Outstanding area for a concert. love the view. outstanding seats.

This is such a wonderful place to visit! Be prepared though, wear comfortable walking shoes and dress appropriately for the weather because most of it is outside. I saw many people there who definitely werent prepared. The living history volunteers are so great, and took time to answer all of our questions!

Conner Prairie is as good as interactive history museums get, but be warned, thats exactly what this place is: An Interactive Museum. While you can definitely wander around, dont be put off if you find yourself being led around (sometimes literally by the hand) from exhibit to exhibit by the residents of the village. The newer edition to the museum, the Dupont Indiana section, is even more theatrical and structured than the original village is. So if youre thinking this is just a cool old 1800s village to explore and walk around in, you may want to travel down to Spring Mill state park for that experience. This is definitely a more guided experience, geared more toward educating kids and adults who want to see living history presented in a way very few museums can do. If that sounds like something youre into, then Conner Prairie cant be beat.

Ive never been to anything but symphony on the prairie at Connor prairie. Always have a blast. Recommendation would be to splurge for the VIP parking. If you dont and you leave when everyone else does then it can take awhile to get out.

Great Time/Activity for Kids of all ages. You could spend all day there if you wanted. Pretty big and lots of things to check out. Indoor kids area to play and make crafts and then Outdoor stuff to do/see and learn about our great history. Kids water/splash area to keep cool, so think about swimming trunks or towel or atleast change of clothes for your young ones just in case. We went on a really hot day, but wasnt actually too bad since theres indoor air condition area/activities and the outdoor splash area and when your walking around, its woodsy and shaded, so it was actually nice and relaxing strolling on the paths. They have some animals to pet(goats and sheep). Theres also a Hot Air Balloon ride(always attached to ground). We didnt ride it, but it goes straight up and comes back down and probably has a nice view!

When we lived in Carmel, Indiana this was one of our favorite places to go! Always a good time and the kids loved all the animals they got to interact with. The baby pigs were adorable. Many happy memories, and when we next visit Indiana, well be sure to visit Conner Prairie again !

Great educational content for kids and adults.

Great place for young kids and adults alike! I wasnt sure if my 5 year old would be interested in much but he loved the whole place! As an adult I would have liked to have been able to stop and read more of the signs and information but with a kid you have to go at their place somewhat which is why I say it would be great for adults or kids. The kids love running around and seeing everything but the adults could stop and read and learn a lot. When we left my son asked right away if we could go back sometime and I told him most definitely!

Lovely place to visit for family and friends. I love going to Conner Priarie! I really enjoyed the balloon voyage where we got to see the conner priarie corn maze with the image of the headless horseman and the houses near the white river. I also loved learning about the history of the civil war in Kentuckiana and a whole lot more. I also liked the food. I ordered Mrs. Conners chicken salad sandwich and it was delicious. I also learned a lot about the conner house and watched how they made threads. There are a lot more to see inside and you can even do the corn maze. Worth the trip and I highly recommend family and friends to come here!

I really loved this place! We went to the Michael Jackson concert preformed by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and it was a phenomenal outdoor concert. You can bring your own food, drinks (alcohol included), lawn chairs/blankets. It makes for a great night.

We visited the Symphony on the Prairie venue for the July 3rd Star Spangled Symphony event. This particular show is typically highly attended given that it is a holiday special and they have a firework show at the end. Unfortunately for us, a thunderstorm popped up in the area so they cancelled the fireworks (but allowed everyone to use their ticket stubs for complimentary access to a later event). Prior to the stoppage, the show was excellent and the orchestra was as good as always! Many veterans were in attendance with their families and the conductor/hosts did a fantastic job recognizing all the military personnel and branches. This is a great place for families and friends to enjoy music, shows, and dinner!There is free parking available. As a friendly reminder, a mass exodus from the venue will create very long lines to exit as there is only one exit to go North and one to go South. If you aren’t in a hurry to be anywhere, take your time heading out to avoid an hour-ish wait in or around your car (no bathrooms outside the venue gates).Don’t forget to bring your own cooler (drinks and food of any kind ) as well as chairs and blankets for the show! Food and beverages are available for purchase including standard concessions, alcohol, ice cream, and kettle corn.

I enjoyed the Symphony on the prairie concert. The Beach Boys were the music of the evening. I enjoyed the band and the wonderful songs. The balloon ride is very good, but a little pricey.

It was the first time I have been back in years to visit this place. The balloon ride was so nice. I was a little scared at first but once I was all the way up in the air it was amazing. You could see downtown. I was walking all around the taking in all the sites. Then we traveled through time and went back to when the civil war came to Indiana. It was really fun to see all the actors doing a great job and really playing the part. I enjoyed my time so much and I didnt get to see everything, but I will be back to visit again soon and see it all.

We love going to Conner Prairie. The inside area is great with our two girls. Its a safe, great place for them to learn and play. The outside has a lot of great places for young children too. We spend a lot of time at the tree house and little splash area, but there is something for even little kids to do inside almost every house.

Loved the live animals.

Conner Prairie is the best. The Headless Horseman hayride and haunted corn maze were awesome! We had constant fun for over 4 hours and could have stayed longer. Looking forward to going back!

A lot of the exhibits were not functioning. Reinactors tried to keep it interesting. Thought the $18 a bit steep for what they had.

Great time with the animals and the people. Only down side is that after the animals theres not much for little kids outside. Theres a small jungle gym but no slides. The inside areas are great though. We went in the air balloon too. Its a nice relaxing ride but a little pricey.

Good acting but treating us like slaves, i felt offended

They need to consider more interactive history that could occur INDOORS. I am a member but they close the outdoor area for winter and dont offer much else. my son gets a cold every time we visit the indoor play place.i feel like it is a great concept with mediocre execution.their cafe, also outdoors and closed for winter, does offer some great salads though.

An interactive museum set in the early 1820s and 30s, just years after Indiana became a state. Great for a family trip of field trip. Keep in mind, the museum is closed on Mondays and there will be plenty of walking. Nonetheless, it is a wonderful place to check out.

Great place for kids have fun and learn about civil war history

Great and unique experience.

Went to Symphony on the prairie. Always a good time with music and food. We bring our own because the concession stand is limited and more expensive, but is a viable option for some. Crowds and ease of parking vary depending on the performance. Aside from Symphony on the Prairie, Connor Prairie is a great living history museum. We are members and go a couple times a year.

Super clean and very well organized. We went out to conner prairie for symphony on the prairie.

Great for kids. Learning made fun. Love it.

Great place to experience! Love the civil war area: Must see inside general store and theater-type exhibit. Go on the educator portion of the website to learn before going. Everyone is in character and sticks to their time period and its wonderful!

We absolutely love this place. Enjoy it a great deal everytime we go. Letting the kids see and participate in all the different times in life is a wonderful and educating experience. Thank you Conner Prairie..

Good, educational experience. I have also attended field trips there. They do a good job in the field trips but note that the picnic area isn’t the best. It is still an amazing place and I would suggest for elementary schoolers and family.

My students and I enjoyed ourselves and learned so much at Conner Prairie! They do such an amazing job in recreating scenes from hundreds of years ago.

Very nice. Fun. Balloon ride fantastic.

Way cooler than expected. Kids had a blast and I enjoyed it far more than I would have thought.

Great place for kids. Have a membership and love it.

This was interesting to visit. The different areas tell a story of Indiana over a number of years.

Beautiful land, amazing fun to do with the family. We went on my daughters field trip in the fall and it was just gorgeous. Neat to walk through and have fun while learning at the same time. A picturesque day!

Great place for kids. Balloon and civil war time life are 2 unmatched experience one should not miss.

Love this place. My daughter is obsessed with the petting barn!

Great place, absolutely everyone likes)

We had a blast!! Thank you for a great experience.

Much more Interactive and kid friendly than I expected.

Star Spangled Symphony on the Prarie was a great way to celebrate Independence Day. The program was very much in honor of our Military Heroes which was very touching to see. The fireworks were great, more than just ordinary fireworks. The symphony played a variety of music from different time periods.

I havent been here since I was a kid, but I recently saw that they were having a free admission day. My boyfriend, kids, and I had a blast. The kids were super excited to explore and learn. We especially loved Benjamin in the makesmith workshop. He was so helpful with the boys and they loved using all the tools.

Kids love this place. The blanket fort is an amazing idea and the workshops are really neat and hands of experience for kids.

Wonderful place for family time. Very professional and well kept. Hands on experience and something for all ages. The Prairietown is wonderful. Fun to see the actors walking about. They ONLY answer you in the time period from which they represent. Theres a splash pad for hot days, and an animal interactive area. We didn’t do the trail walk behind the the tree fort but will next time. There is even a little library room at the bottom of the tree fort for your little bookworms

Went on a field trip with my son and we had a great time! He wants to go back this summer for a family trip.

This is such a special place

This is such a great place for family fun! People of all ages can enjoy this great place! The staff are always very friendly and informative and make learning so much fun! I especially love that they have designated rooms for Breastfeeding and changing babies!!! It’s the cherry on top for me!

Its good for kids to understand the history and living style in 1800. You can check the status of balloon ride in their website to plan accordingly.

Balloon ride was awesome! Saw Indy. The Civil War area was very nice. The movie was very historical.

Fun experience for folks with kids. Check out the special events like Headless Horseman and Christmas programming.

Hands on historical villages. Great for adults and kids off all ages.

Great family fun with a bit of education just dont tell your kids!! Lol

Great place for an afternoon or even a day! My son could have spent an entire day in the welcome center playing with tools and building.

Great place to take the kids - an amazing outdoor area - animals, treetop adventure and more, plus a great indoor area for big and little kids to explore!

Love, love, LOVE this place!! A little bit of everything. Great play area for kids on hot or bad weather days indoors, fun outdoor play areas for the kids on nice days. Everything you need is there, food, drinks restrooms etc which is key for a family with several children under 4. Great time, great place, we WILL be back!!!!

Great place to take your kids all year round inside or out they get things inside to see plus in the summertime see how people used to do pioneer age before gas-electric phones are they even invented how they used to do things back then some people still do it that way today and technologies or flop people do not keep the technology they refuse to use it but this is a good place to take your kids all year roundChick-fil-A hours and so he could have a really good place in the good place to eat to

Great place to go and learn some history about Hamilton County Indiana

Once again nothing open to see anything. They had a few interpretations like 6 we came from Michigan 4 hour drive for nothing

We drove down from Chicago for the day and had such a fun time!

Really cool place to take your kids! The interactive civil war village is awesome and a great way to get kids engaged with history. Many hands on activities for the little ones!

We went to the Symphony on the Prairie that Connor Prairie holds during the summertime. It was packed. But I will say that it was very nice to shop to a concert where we did not have to pay for parking. As soon as we parked there were two people who showed up with the wagon who offered assistance with bringing our items out to the lawn. There were a bunch of people already and the concert was not set to start for another hour or two. So I would suggest getting there early especially if you have a large crowd of people going along together.We rode the helium balloon which was super cool! You could see the stage area and then the haunted corn maze that was about to start soon. We did our helium trip at around 7:30 and it was perfect because we were able to see the sun set!

I have been attending symphony on the prairie for 20+ years, and I must say Kroger has stepped up the game big time. Awesome new sound system, less obstructions between you and the stage. As always the sunset lounge in where its at! July 4th show is a must for any Hoosier!

Great experience. lots of log cabins and fun for the kids.

We attended symphony on the prairie presented by ISO. The outdoor amphitheatre is such a nice venue. We also have a CP membership; we visit there often.

We love coming here!!!

The kids had a lot of fun!

My experience was great. We really had fun in this place but the staffs were not accommodating.

I had not been outside since i was a kid because there is so much going on inside. Im glad that i finally got out there. This is by far the best place in Indy for young Children.

We buy a family.membership every year. We always enjoy our trips to CP, especially headless horseman in October.

They recently added the Roberts Family play and my family loved it. We always enjoy connor prairie and their apple store is amazing.

Great place to see a live show!

I used to come here as a child, and hadnt been back in about 10 years. The history was great to relearn. It kept our family of older teens (15 & 19) entertained as was I. In the span of approximately 2 1/2 hours we wereunable to see most of the venue, including making copper bracelets.

Really crowded but I loved being abke to spend time with my friends!

Place was nice and all but for driving down from Lafayette it turned out to be a total bust..the whole goal was the headless horseman hayride when we got there at 6. We get a slip that says our hayride was at 10 p.m. on a Sunday! We also find out that the 10 p.m. meant that thats when the line started and we wouldn’t be getting on till 10:30 or 10:45. That’s crazy late for a Sunday and we live 1 hr and 15 minutes away so we decided to leave around 9:15. No way with 3 kids under 8 years old could stay there for 5-6 hours. Total bummer and waste of money.

I went as a chaperone for the fifth grade class. I had just as much fun as the kids!

Good center for children and adults

Never disappointed. I love summer nights at Conner Prairie. Tonight the Indiana symphony played musics from Queen and they did a great job!!!! Dont forget a blanket, lawn chairs, mini table for your food, drinks, bug spray, a flashlight (just incase) and......oh yeah, great friends and family, you will have a blast!!!

We love going to Conner Prairie. We even have a membership. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the headless horseman this year. We go every year and spend alot of time with my 3 kids doing the different activities. We felt like this year there were not as many activities or they all started at the same times. We ended up leaving early when in the past we would stay the whole time and not even get to them all.

Loved it so much we became members!

Went here during Christmas for a work party. Amazing experience.

Looks very interesting. Not yet visited, but hope to in the future.

Had a good time with my children and there school..

I have come here every year to the Symphony on the Prairie since I was a little child. It is a good time with family and friends. The only problem is you spend just as much time listening to music and watching fireworks, as you do sitting in the parking lot to leave the event. This situation needs to be looked at and structured for safety and frustration after the concert.

Was here for a friends wedding and reception. The wedding was just outside of the barn with the reception in the barn. Beautiful place and the staff was wonderful.

Had fun learned alot great place to visit and take ya kids loved it!

Had an amazing time! Very cool place to spend the day!

They need more handrails for entering the historical buildings. The actors for the displays were very good.

This has always been one of my favorite places to go! You could go every day and learn something new! The improvements they are continually making make it a new experience every time. Thank you for all your hard work! Definitely make this a stop on your list!

Great place for the kids to actually get away from their technology and learn something.

Every time I visit Im always impressed with how many staff and volunteers are around and what great energy and excitement they display. Thank you for making this a great and fun place to visit!

I love the interaction with the actors living in the year of 1836. History comes to life!
